Do I need to wait for a red light to turn left?

[OAaron]

Turning left requires waiting for a red light. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing and are not allowed to make a direct U-turn or left turn. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Article 38: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of released straight-going vehicles and pedestrians; when the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line can continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motor vehicle traffic lights and pedestrian crossing lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle traffic lights. 2. Article 20: To learn motor vehicle driving, one should first study road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After passing the exam, one can then learn motor vehicle driving skills. Learning to drive on the road should be conducted according to the routes and times designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ.
